Tristromaviridae is a family of viruses with linear, double-stranded DNA genomes of 16-18 kbp. The flexible, filamentous virions (400±20 nm×30±3 nm) consist of an envelope and an inner core constructed from two structural units: a rod-shaped helical nucleocapsid and a nucleocapsid-encompassing matrix protein layer. Tristromaviruses are lytic and infect hyperthermophilic archaea of the order Thermoproteales. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the Tristromaviridae, which is available at www.ictv.global/report/tristromaviridae.
三束病毒科是一类具有线性、双链 DNA 基因组（长度为 16-18 kbp）的病毒。灵活的、丝状的病毒粒子（400±20nm×30±3nm）由包膜和一个由两个结构单元组成的内核构成：一个棒状的螺旋核衣壳和一个核衣壳包裹的基质蛋白层。三束病毒是裂解性的，感染嗜热古菌目 Thermoproteales 的嗜热古菌。这是国际病毒分类委员会（ICTV）关于三束病毒科的报告摘要，可在 www.ictv.global/report/tristromaviridae 上查阅。
